How do you "configure" a source RPM (.src.rpm)

  Hi All,

A quick question. How do you get RPM to allow you to pause the 
installation, in order to run ./configure. I can not see
an option in "man rpm". I am doing the normal "rpm --rebuild" to obtain 
the ppc.rpm, but can not find a way to do any
customization.

The only option, I can see, is after the build, to get into the src 
directory and re-configure, make etc etc, but the subseqent install
proberly does not put the executable in the same place as the normal rpm -i.

Hope that makes sense. :-\

Thanks,
Bernie.
